Anyone good at welding in the South London / Kent area willing to help with a broken bolt?

One has sheared almost flush and the only hope of getting it out is to plug weld a nut on it and hope it winds out.

Bloody left hand thread :cry: :crap:

Dartford isn't too far mate! You would be a life saver if you can help :)

Are you available this Saturday or Sunday and would you be able to potentially travel, I'll be just down the road from the Surrey meet, would sort you some cash obviously :) (I don't want to take the pi$$ so no probs if not)

It's a bolt on a motorbike, centre stand needed to come off to fit this and one of the fcukers was LHT :(

Problem is if the exhaust is refitted the access may be limited. (I don't have a trailer or van to transport it). Will know for sure tonight as I'll be offering it all up later this evening.

Pm me your postcode, I'll see if I'm free. It's in a workshop/garage?

Thanks for all the offers guys, feeling the love :D

Bugger, with the down pipes fitted there isn't going to be access. I was hoping I could fit it and ride it to whoever could help. Offered it up, even though its lose and would blow I had to start it, sounded naughty and was spitting 2ft flames :cool:

Dave - I may be able to blag Friday, I'm supposed to be working from home but could always slope off to my parents. Potentially what sort of time would you be free?? (Bike is in a garage btw)

Gary - I wouldn't have a clue if your arc inverter would do the job! While I know what needs to be done to fix it I have no idea on the equipment or have the skills to do it!

Matt - PM mate.
